MILE STONE


I& C CROSSES MILE STONE

Wadia Hall of Indian Instt. Of World culture, Bangalore witnessed a rare event. ISSUES & CONCERNS, had organised a function to mark the completion of its journey of 10 years. The Special Issue to mark the 10the anniversary was released by the Chief Guest of the function Dr. Mahesh Joshi, the Deputy Director General (DDG) of Door Darshan Kendra, Bangalore. A Souvenir containing the 120 front cover of the magazine with selected feed back and few Focus articles was released by Prof B M Hegde, former vice-chancellor of Manipal University.
Speaking on the occasion DDG exhorted the audience that “in a murky and self serving media scene I & C stands out as a beacon of hope. While tabloids, weeklies, fortnightlies and monthlies came and go after the 1st or 2nd anniversary, for I & C to keep publishing for all 10 years non-stop, by one individual, is a miracle in to-days journalism. This deserves applause and ovation”.
Prof Hegde, while asking the audience to join I & C in its objective of attempting to make a difference, invoked Napoleon Bonaparte that “bad things happen not because of the bad people but because of the silence of good people.

Dr. Dayananda Pai, an entrepreneur with a deep commitment to social causes, assured his support and participation in the future journey of ISSUES & CONCRENS. J. Shriyan, the editor gave a run-down of the perspective. The function ended with the thanks giving by editor followed by national anthem.

New Delhi : All living beings are in transit through this sorry world. The day our mandate is over we just have to vacate the space, doesn’t matter even if it’s Buckingham Palace.

Elizabeth Alexander Mary, born on 21st April 1926, was anointed Queen of England on 6th Feb 1952 ended on 8th Sept 2022, uninterrupted and unquestioned for all the 70 years. Born Princess Elizabeth of York, in Mayfair, a suburb of London she was coroneted on 2nd June 1953, born to King George the VI and Queen Elizabeth.

There is a crisis of image in this sector”. This was in early 1975, that is close to half a century ago. How has this image undergone transformation during this past, close to fifty years? It’s a question with profoundly mixed answers in this era of World Trade Organization and consequent globalization. “People must come to accept private enterprise not as a necessary evil but as an affirmative good” was a dictum attributed to late Eugene Robert Black, the third president of the World Bank. He was president during 1949 to 1962, probably the longest served president of World Bank. They were truly the transformative years of World Bank also known as International Bank of Reconstruction and Development. The a
